Interesting. Caroline Lucas has won the pre-selection for Brighton Pavilion, generally considered the best chance for the Greens to win a Westminster seat at the next election (although there are a couple of other possibilities coming up close behind).
This is the first time the Green Party has had a pre-selection for a winnable seat, and it has gone better well – despite a snide report about it in the local paper, to which I won’t link.
She was selected by 55%, with Keith Taylor, who has previously contested it, and who leads the party on council, with 45%.
Update: Jim has written more on the selection.
